Both anime's have a very similar sort of powers, both of which are forced on people and they have to live with it. Well that is one boy named Shinichi Izumi who came in contact with a parasite but was able to stop it taking over his brain. Now they must co-exist and the comedy is very well done, taking the p*** out of most cliches and anime relationships.
